TS7650G ProtecTIER
Deduplication Gateway
Powerful data deduplication for improved backup and
disaster recovery operations
Highlights
●● ● ●
Improve backup and recovery and
simplify disaster-recovery operations
●● ● ●
Lower operational costs and energy
usage
●● ● ●
Manage more data with less
infrastructure
The IBM® System Storage® TS7650G ProtecTIER® Deduplication
Gateway is designed to meet the disk-based data protection needs of
the enterprise data center while enabling significant infrastructure cost
reductions. The solution offers industry-leading inline deduplication
performance and scalability up to 1 petabyte (PB) of physical storage
capacity per system, and can provide up to 25 PB or more backup storage
capacity. Combined with IBM or third-party storage, the TS7650G
ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway provides a powerful disk-based
repository to improve the performance, retention and availability of
backup and archive data.
The TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway provides:
●● ●
Up to 2,500 megabytes per second (MBps) or more—9 terabytes per
hour (TBph)—virtual tape library (VTL) sustained inline deduplication
backup performance
●● ●
Up to 3,200 MBps or more (11.4 TBph) VTL sustained recovery
performance
●● ●
Capacity that easily scales to provide up to 25 PB or more backup
storage
●● ●
Non-hash-based approach that supports data integrity by avoiding the
possibility of data loss due to a hash collision
●● ●
Inline approach that ensures backup windows are met and existing
operations are not disrupted

●● ●
Symantec OpenStorage support to simplify administration of
backup, restore and replication operations
●● ●
File System Interface (FSI) for network-attached storage
(NAS)-based backup environments, support for both
Network File System (NFS) v3 interface for UNIX clients
and Common Internet File System (CIFS) for Microsoft
Windows-based environments
●● ●
Tested and proven performance in thousands of production
environments around the globe since 2005
The ProtecTIER native replication technology enables the
automated electronic replication of backup data between one
or more data centers, remote office and offsite storage locations
for enhanced disaster recovery and business continuity. By elim-
inating the need to transport actual tape cartridges, data can
be recovered faster and more reliably, enabling systems to get
back online quicker in the event of a disaster or major system
outage. It also lowers the total cost of ownership of backup and
recovery by eliminating the costs associated with moving and
storing physical tape cartridges.
ProtecTIER deduplication with native replication technology
provides:
●● ●
One-to-one replication for enhanced disaster recovery
operations
●● ●
Many-to-one replication for improved remote office data
protection
●● ●
Many-to-many replication for multiple data center
environments
●● ●
Enterprise-class data integrity level at all sites
●● ●
The ability for a remote site to become a primary site during
disaster recovery
●● ●
Replication that can occur concurrently with backup and
inline deduplication
●● ●
Easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI)-based
management and monitoring tools
Deploying a TS7650G ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway
solution can help organizations protect their corporate data on
disk-based storage more efficiently while helping them manage
the exponential growth of new data through the reduction or
elimination of duplicate data in their backups.
